Bob Harris

Steal This Book: and Get Life Without Parole Bob Harris

Bob Harris is possibly the only comedian alive who has drawn reviews comparing him to both Lenny Bruce and Noam Chomsky.

In this, his first book, syndicated radio humorist, Mother Jones online columnist, noted Jeopardy! show-off, and stand-up comedian Bob Harris tears into the lunacies of modern American politics, media, and culture.

Harris' loopy, self-effacing humor hides deep knowledge of economics, history, and science behind pop culture references and a plain-spoken style, translating complex ideas into hard-hitting, often laugh-out-loud essays.

What makes Harris unique is an underlying, palpable belief in the intelligence and human dignity of normal working people, despite the insane and often inhuman world around us.
